The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord

Chapter 44

The next morning, just as the sky was turning white, the gates of Hongyan City were already open.

Three figures pulled a simple truck and went away along the winding official road.

This escort mission was not only undertaken by Lin En alone, but he also had two companions: a man and a woman.

The man's name was Bill, with a hideous scar across his face. His rough appearance made Lin En involuntarily think of the Drey wizard.

The woman's name was Mena, with heavy makeup, and her enchanting figure was outlined vividly by tights and light armor, which made her look both dangerous and tempting.

According to Lin En's observation, Bill and Mena had already become too familiar with each other - from their sticky conversation, it was obvious that they had already rolled on the sheets several times.

Living on the edge of a knife every day, the men and women here have no secular moral concepts at all.

Last night, the two even wanted to drag Lin En along, but Lin En had no idea, he was still busy taking drugs and practicing.

The employer paid a deposit in advance and promised to pay the balance after the task was completed. At the same time, it was stated that if the task could be delivered faster, the reward would be more generous.

This made Bill and Mena very motivated, and they had almost no idea of ​​delaying time.

Lin En had no objection to this. It was in his interest to complete the task quickly.

In this way, a group of three people and a truck set out from Hongyan City and traveled almost day and night.

Except for the necessary short rest, they did not have any delays.

During this period, the entire Green Forest Province was implementing traffic control, which was quite troublesome.

Fortunately, Lin En and others relied on the customs clearance documents provided by the employer and the extra gold and silver, and the official inspection did not cause them any trouble.

Although some people attacked them secretly, the three of them were extraordinary and easily solved them without causing any impact.

At full speed, in just ten days, they had crossed the Green Forest Province, crossed the Anda Province, and arrived at the border of the Blue Moon Province.

After crossing the Blue Moon Province, it was the end of this journey: the Cangyue Plateau.

However, just as they entered the Blue Moon Province and passed through a narrow mountain road, a group of figures suddenly blocked their way.

"Sure enough."

Lin En thought to himself.

He had expected this. After all, such a high mission reward, coupled with the employer's urging, obviously meant that this batch of goods was not ordinary objects, and would naturally attract some ill-intentioned forces to covet.

Although some people harassed them before, they were just some ordinary bandits, not a big trouble.

Now, the one who stopped them should be the one who made the employer urge them to travel overnight.

Lin En looked over, and his pupils shrank suddenly, because the other party was an extraordinary person!

At the end of the mountain road, a white-haired middle-aged man stood quietly, wearing a long robe, with piercing eyes, like a hawk, locking onto Lin En and others.

His momentum was cold and oppressive, and the air around him seemed to be stagnant because of him.

"A second-level wizard apprentice?"

Lin En quickly detected the opponent's strength through the crystal ball in his arms: mental strength 13, physical strength 3.

Since this strength was too weak, Lin En judged that the opponent was obviously not a member of the coalition forces of Night Shadow Bunker, but his identity was still a mystery, so he did not act rashly.

"Looking for death! Crash!"

Bill and Mena did not notice anything unusual at all.

Bill grinned and tightened the reins of the carriage, not taking the opponent seriously at all.

With the sound of wheels rolling over the mountain road, Bill drove the carriage towards the white-haired man.

However, just when the carriage was about to hit him-

The man raised his head slightly and chanted an unknown spell in a low voice.

Suddenly, a cold breath filled the air, the ground suddenly cracked, and several pale bone-like branches pierced out from the ground, like a spear piercing straight up!

"Puff--"

The sharp branches instantly pierced the horse and the body of the carriage, blood splattered, and the carriage overturned on the ground with a loud noise.

The hideous smiles on Bill and Mena's faces were replaced by fear. They were thrown off the carriage by the strong impact and fell heavily to the ground.

Lin En had been prepared for a long time, and rolled outward twice to avoid the center of the shock wave.

He half-crouched on the ground vigilantly, staring at the white-haired man in front of him with a cold look.

"Wizard...it's actually a wizard!"

Bill and Mena had lost their arrogant attitude in the past, and their whole bodies were trembling like sieves.

They never thought that what stopped them was the terrifying existence in the legend: a wizard who sacrificed blood and fed on humans!

If the pale branch that climbed out from the ground just now had not failed to pierce the horse, I'm afraid the two of them would have been skewered into human meat skewers.

The white-haired middle-aged man glanced coldly at the two people lying on the ground, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, his voice as cold as ice: "Hand over Earl Greenson's things."

Hearing this, Bill and Mena looked at each other, obviously not understanding the meaning of this.

Lin En was shocked:

"Earl Greenson's things..."

He took a deep breath, his eyes were focused, and he swept over the overturned carriage, finally stopping at the damaged cargo box.

The white-haired man's words just now, weren't they talking to them, but to the cargo box... or something in the cargo box?

"It seems that you don't know anything, go open the box!"

The cold voice of the white-haired man interrupted Lin En's thoughts and completely confirmed his guess.

The man looked directly at Bill and Mena and took out a worn-out bell from his bosom.

Dingling——

The crisp bell sound echoed in the silent mountain road with a strange rhythm.

Bill and Mena's expressions suddenly became dull and their eyes were scattered, as if they had lost all their thinking ability.

Lin En also felt dizzy, as if countless needles were pricking his mind.

He quickly suppressed the discomfort and did not rush to break free. Instead, he quietly imitated Bill and Mena's expressions and pretended to be equally confused.

Bill and Mena turned around mechanically, staggering, and slowly walked towards the cargo box behind the carriage.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Just as their hands were about to touch the cargo box, a sudden change broke the silence!

Boom!

The cargo box exploded, wood chips flew, and a green shadow suddenly jumped out of the box.

It was a monster emitting a strange green light all over his body-a small tree man with a body twisted like a plant and shaped like a goblin.

Its face was ugly and ferocious, its eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and its palms were like thick tree roots, covered with barbs.

The green tree man did not hesitate, and his huge palms instantly slapped Bill and Mena.

The two were controlled by the ringing and could not react at all.

Even in normal state, they would definitely not be able to withstand this fatal blow.

Swish!

The green tree man's hands smashed down like a giant hammer, directly smashing Bill and Mena's heads!

Blood plasma and brain matter splattered everywhere, and the fishy smell instantly filled the air.

The monster let out a low roar, and the next second, its body jumped up and pounced on the white-haired man!
